Had a great first day at Agri Trade in Red Deer. Come see us again tomorrow and Friday! 9-5 in the Centrium building on the Westerner Grounds.
Did you know? "Faba beans are high in fibre, which is important for preventing diabetes, colon cancer and heart disease."

Even if the faba harvest wasn't great this year, fields that are growing faba plants have benefited from the faba's amazing nitrogen-fixing impact. Faba is the highest nitrogen fixing annual legume, making it an excellent rotation crop.
This summer wasn't ideal for faba beans, but we will be buying large volumes of snowbird variety faba beans for fractionating this year at competitive prices, and we have plenty of Polar Beans (fabelles) for seeding next year.
You asked, we answered! TL's Famous Faba Bean Chili recipe is now online!

T.L. has been making her famous chili for years but only recently started adding faba beans to it, giving it more protein and nutrients. She's served it at almost every informational meeting Faba Canada has hosted and its made quite a name for itself.
(Recipe to come soon!)
Speaking of chili, has anyone had the chance to try Terri-Lynne Goudy's famous "Faba Bean Chili"?
"As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer pleasure of doing so. Whether it's laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry... or inventing a new chili recipe - we are happiest when we are creating."
-Gary Hamel
The plant-based protein industry is rapidly expanding, and faba beans have a number of competitive advantages over field peas that currently dominate the protein fractionation business in Canada.
